Katherine Heigl’s assy mouth landed her in hot water with the producers of her hit ABC show “Grey’s Anatomy.” A source told Us Weekly producers came up with a plot to kill off her character with a brain tumor. The planning started after Katherine withdrew herself from the Emmy nominations because she said she didn’t feel she was “given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination.”

In response to Heigl’s griping, staffers are considering giving her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a brain tumor.

“[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her,” the source tells Us. “It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”

Still, there’s good news for fans sad to see Izzie suffer: newly single Jeffrey Dean Morgan will reprise his role as hunky patient Denny Duquette, whom Izzie will see in visions brought on by the tumor.

And a second source thinks the story arc, ironically, may not be a bad thing for Heigl: “If her character does get a brain tumor, she’ll probably get an Emmy!”

A rep for ABC tells Us, “We can confirm that [Morgan] will be back, but we are not releasing any further details.”

Further good news for Katherine: if she gets fired, it will give her more time to smoke cigarettes and make faces at paparazzi. Win-win.
